With Donald J. Trump the President-elect of the United States, the momentous Joint Agreement on Climate Change , signed by U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which was heralded as a rare moment of policy coordination, may soon be relegated to the dustbin of history.

Facts have emerged as to the real reasons why the Senate refused to consider a request by President Muhammadu Buhari to approve the federal government’s 2016-2018 External Borrowing (Rolling) Plan of $29.960 billion (N9 trillion)at plenary session yesterday. LEADERSHIP recalls that the president had, in a letter dated Thursday, October 20, 2016, requested the National Assembly to approve a $29.960 billion borrowing plan meant for special national infrastructure projects.
